AUDITORS

MacGILLIVRAY & CO.

To; Mis: A. Jones, Chairman
and
Members of Council,
The Regional Municipality of Hamilton-Wentworth.

The Hamilton-Wentworth Transit Commission presents its Second
Annual Report covering the operations of The Hamilton Street Railway
Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, for the calendar year 1978.

Audited Balance Sheets and Operating Statements, duly certified,
have been placed in the hands of the Treasurer of the Region which reflect
the financial position of each Company as at the close of the fiscal period
on December 31st, 1978. The commitment to the Corporation for the de-
benture instalment in the amount of $286,835 has been met in full.

The boundaries of an Urban Transit Service Area received Ministerial
approval on March 3rd. Expansion of the Area to encompass the Civic Air-
port and its environs was gazetted on November 4th in response to our
subsequent petition. There followed the enactment of licencing By-law
R78-175, operative within the U.T.S.A., which it is expected will provide
an avenue for the substitution of an alternative method of furnishing the
Airport ground transportation connecting service without the current
onerous financial commitment required to sustain it.

The deteriorating condition of the Hamilton Bus Terminal premises
is of continuing concern. Discussions early in the year with the owners
have not been as productive as anticipated. While a recent announcement
indicated that transfer of administrative responsibility for the Terminal to
a Provincial agency would take effect at the close of the year, no change has
as yet taken place.

Commissioners met with The Hon. J. Snow on October 17th to se-
cure more detail on the Minister’s offer to install an Intermediate Capacity
Transit System in Hamilton of the type under experimentation by the Ur-
ban Transit Development Corporation. Since Commission plans for prov-
iding for rapid transit had already progressed to a point where work to det-
ermine an actual route alignment in the CBD to Mountain Corridor awaits
only adoption of the Official Plan, the Minister’s proposal is very timely
and will be explored in greatest detail.

Messrs. Bennett, Campbell, Carson and Stout retired as Commiss-
ioners in December and their colleagues wish to acknowledge their contr-
bution during their term of office.

The Commissioners also wish to express their appreciation to the
Management and employees of the Companies for their part in the achiev-
ements of 1978 and to extend to Municipal staffs our thanks for their assi-
stance.

Hamilton, Ontario,
February 20, 1979

To: The Chairman and Members of
The Hamilton-Wentworth Transit Commission.

It is my privilege to review briefly in this report the operations of The
Hamilton Street Railway Company and The Canada Coach Lines, Limited,
for the year 1978.

A. THE HAMILTON STREET RAILWAY COMPANY

The recovery in patronage, noted in the 1977 Report for the final
quarter, continued at a fairly constant rate throughout 1978 to produce a
3.89% improvement. Not included in this statistic are trips taken by the
9,240 holders of Pensioner Certificates. Comparative financial results
summarized are:

1978 1977
Revenue rom @ perauousenw. 2.0) es $17,552,987 $16,308,240
Dinecl costs of Providing services...,081 7 16:759,525 15,646,696
Balance (applied at year end to
meet Depreciation and
Debt Setvice cial ges cacy. ee $ 793,464 $ £661,544

Fuel, power, materials, and employment costs rose again significantly
and interest rates reached a new high. Total bus miles in regular route
operations were increased 1.3%.

FARES

Adult tickets were reintroduced on January 25th in book form at 40
for $15.00. Agreement with the City of Hamilton for the retention of the
Fare Equalization payment formula on a per-ticket-sold basis permitted
the continuance of reduced fare privileges for classes of Special Adult and
Student groups. Also continued was the annual charge to the City’s account
of $100.00 for each elderly resident provided with a Pensioner Certificate
(Pass). The Fare Stabilization factor for invoicing purposes was set at 25.27¢
per passenger carried. Ticket passengers, as a percentage of total passen-
gers, declined from 63.5% to 24.9%, cash passengers rose from 26.6% to
50.9%, and Monthly Pass passengers increased from 6.6% to 21.3%.
Monthly Pass sales grossed $1,746,500.

On April 23rd intercity fares were increased on the Burlington-
Hamilton service commensurate with a general tariff revision for the
subsidiary Company.

Charges to the Treasurer for Fare Equalization and Fare Stabilization
payments under the formulae totalled $8,411,253.

PLANT & ROLLING STOCK

Additional temporary relief from the severe overcrowding of the
Wentworth St. base was obtained with the demolition of five residences
lying between our main building and Nightingale Street.

In April, an application for an appropriate rezoning of our Mountain
property was successful at the initial stage.

An examination by DeLeuw Cather Canada Ltd. of Maintenance &
Storage Facilities, required by modern standards to support operations of
this type and size, was begun in July in conjunction with the Ministry of
Transportation & Communications, Ontario, under a grant-in-aid.

The iC aes program for the remainder of the original 1951

trolley coach fleet was concluded in October with the delivery of 16 Flyer

Industries units at a cost of $1,884,449. Eight diesel buses were acquired

from Canada Coach Lines in preparation for extension of city-type serv-

ices further into Stoney Creek. At the year’s end, the fleet available os reve-

as operations consisted of 60 trolley coaches and 229 diesel and gas
uses.

Capital grants totalling $1,501,228 were received from the Province
during the year.

ROUTE & SERVICE CHANGES

On May Ist, the Upper Wellington route was extended from its term1-
nus north of Limeridge Rd. to a new loop at Stone Church Rd.

On May 31st, anew branch of the Upper Paradise route began opera-
ting west on Stone Church Rd. to loop at Amalfi St.

On Sept. 5th, the York leg of the Dundas local routes was discont-
inued, the Ann leg rerouted via Ogilvie St., Governor’s Rd. and Creighton
Rd., and the King’s Gate leg extended to Orchard Ave. At the same time
the western section of the Hamilton-Dundas service was rerouted via Well-
ington, Hatt and Bond Sts. to the terminus at King St. W. in Dundas.

On October 10th, the Parkdale route was extended southerly to a new
loop on Mud St.

On October 10th, the Saltfleet Community service was rerouted from
Mt. Albion Rd. westerly on Mud St. and Mountain Brow Blvd. to connect
with the Upper Kenilworth route at Limeridge Rd.

Reconstruction of Hughson St. N. between King and Wilson Sts. dict-
ated the substitution of diesel units for trolley coaches throughout July and
August on the Barton and Cannon routes.

An application for exclusive bus lanes on Concession St. for a trial

period did not gain approval.

SPECIAL PROMOTIONS

The “Free Day” held on Saturday, May 13th, on operations in Hamil-
ton and Dundas, when no fares were collected between the hours of 8:00
and 6:00 p.m., created favourable transit awareness In the community.

Media and on-board advertising to promote sales of the monthly Pass
was reintroduced in the early Fall.

LABOUR RELATIONS

The Agreements with Local Union 107, A.T.U. were renewed, effect-
ive April Ist, for a two-year period. The initial adjustment under A.I.B.
guidelines in the median rate (Operator) increased the maximum in that
Job Group to $7.59 per hr.; a second rate increase will take place on Jan.
7/79 adding a further 22¢ per hr., with an appended COLA provision.

On Sept. 18th, Local Union 1585 A.T.U. received certification to repr-
esent, with a limited number of occupations excluded, all salaried employ-
ees of the parent Company and its subsidiaries. Negotiations opened shor-
tly thereafter for the AG agreement with this Local.

B. THE CANADA COACH LINES, LIMITED

The increase in gross revenue developed through new tariff structures
was more than offset by the increase in gross expense. Regular route reven-
ue improved 3.9%, charter gross increased 11.3%, and express income
gained 6.3%.

Comparative results in summary are:

1978 1977
Revemlen (Oma@ pC auOlise... 6d eo enone $ 4:012176°-$) 3.675100
Direct costs Omproviding Services <. samc 4,475,439 4,294,735
Balance (applied at year end to
meet Depreciation and
Debt Service Charges); a. hee sae $ (463,263) 3. (4195549)

Debt service and depreciation charges in the amount of $180,293,
lower since no new vehicles were purchased in 1977 and 1978, brought the
total deficit to $643,556. An invoice to the Municipal Treasurer has been
raised for this amount in accordance with the arrangement made with
Council.

TARIFF AND ROUTE CHANGES

Complying with a Glanbrook resolution, the Binbrook-Hamilton ser-
vice ceased operating on April 30th.
Detailed plans for withdrawing service on all local commuter routes
in Stoney Creek to be replaced by H.S.R. services were completed for imple-
mentation on January 7,1979.
On May 31st, Nordair Ltd. terminated the agreement for subsidizing

passengers carried on our Hamilton-Mt. Hope Airport route for their Jet-
Connector service.

An increase in charter rates took effect on May Ist and in regular route
tariffs on May 7th.

PLANT AND ROLLING STOCK

School contract operations were curtailed in the Welland Div., the
frame garage building in Crystal Beach was torn down, and commensurate
staffing reductions took place.

The active fleet at year end totalled 80 units allocated as follows:

Hamilton 44 Niagara Falls EZ
Brantford 5 Welland 14
Cambridge 5

Conclusion

The slow-down of development in the community is reflected in the
H.S.R.’s slowed growth. Economic pressure on the average consumer of
substantially higher gasoline prices and automobile ownership costs
appear to have had no discernible effect of any significance on our passen-
ger volumes as yet. Careful monitoring of service levels will be needed in
the months ahead therefore, to meet budgetary objectives within the pres-
ent fare structure. Where H.S.R. service is being extended under agree-
ments into Area Municipalities to replace C.C.L. commuter routes, an eff-
ort should be made to ensure uniformity in establishing classes of fares
and the qualifications for passengers under each class.

In The Canada Coach Lines, Limited, measures to correct the financ-
ial imbalance have produced a limited result in controlling the deficit pos-
ition. The conditions at the terminal station facilities occupied in Hamil-
ton are falling below acceptable levels in spite of the steadily increasing
expenditures for maintenance. It is now apparent that the structure in its
present form has outlived its usefulness in that the expense of rehabil-
itation and modifying it sufficiently to meet today’s standards may well
prove to be prohibitive.

The “‘Inter-Regional Bus Transit Study, Oakville-Hamilton”’, con-
ducted by the Ministry of Transportation & Communications, Ontario, in
which our Management participated, has concluded that H.S.R. and
C.C.L. services to Burlington should be integrated into the GO network,
and that the service contracts for connecting bus links to GO rail-heads
should be gradually transferred from the present carrier to contracts for
service with C.C.L. Discussions are underway at staff level to prepare an
implementation proposal for consideration by our respective Principals in
the near future.

Respectfully submitted,

(Signed) F. A. COOKE,
General Manager.

AUDITORS’ REPORT

We have examined the balance sheet of The Hamilton Street Railway
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Canada Coach Lines,
Limited and Safety Service & Adjusters Limited as at December 31, 1978
and their respective statements of earnings, retained earnings, contributed
surplus, and reserves for the year then ended. Our examination was made
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly
included such tests and other procedures as we considered necessary

in the circumstances.

In our opinion these financial statements present fairly the financial
position of the companies as at December 31, 1978 and the results of their
operations for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the

preceding year.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)

(d)

Depreciation —

The Hamilton Street Railway Company and The Canada Coach
Lines, Limited record fixed assets at historical cost. Depreciation
is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life
of the assets, with the exception of service cars, which are depre-
ciated on a declining balance basis.

Recognition of Revenue —

Ticket and passes revenues are recognized when the tickets and
passes are honoured on the vehicle. This treatment gives rise to
an estimated liability for tickets and passes which have been sold
during the year but which have not been redeemed or used at the
end of the fiscal year.

Contributed Surplus—

The Hamilton Street Railway Company records as contributed
surplus grants received under the Province of Ontario’s Transit
Capital Assistance Program for 75% of the cost of certain capital
expenditures. Annual depreciation on 75% of the cost of approv-
ed assets has been charged against contributed surplus.

Franchises and Goodwill—

The Canada Coach Lines, Limited has valued this asset at histor-
ical cost, and no amortization has been charged to operations.

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

Consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, as the
companies’ operations are sufficiently different that it is considered such
statements would not provide meaningful information to the municipal

shareholder.
